The list of appropriations made by
the late legislature is yet incomplete.
We give the itams as fret anpoun,,ad.


This list does not include the legisla-
tion ordering the issue of bonds for ex-
tending the dimensions Of public institu-
tions nor the direct tax for the numerous
lesser purposes which will make large
aggregate. The jamestown insane asy-
lnm has received $15s.0O0 for. improve
ments and it is supposed the Yankton
asylum was voted about $4,000 for the
same purpose, through this appropria-
tion is not named in the record. APP
preparations not listed we're made for the
improvement of other institutions and for
officers already in existence and for new
ly made officers, while for miscellaneous
purposes the appropriations are extern
eive- The money voted away by the
Legislature will crowd million dollars
closely, or about double the amount pro.
yided for by the legislature of 1885.
Much of this comes under the head Of
necessary expenses. but it will be found
when the perfected list is given to she
public that the Legislature which has
just adjourned has been an extrayagant
body.

Relative to the Rubernatorial miatak

Relative to the Rubernatorial mistake
the following is related:
The sensation OF the winter was the
appointments of Major A. w. Edwards
OF Fargo, as public examiner and the
subsequent withdrawal of his name By
the governor. Governor Church learne
upon short acquaintance to admire the
majors ability and considered that in
the major he had found the model pub
lic examiner. But the cyclone broke
loose within fifteen minutes from the
time the appointment was made, and be-
fore midnight the governor had agreed
to withdraw the name.

Tote Voters of Yankton.
The undersigned. acting under ia

submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the public:
There has beer for some time very
generally expressed feeiip, that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
by the evident lad results, in some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. It is be-
lieved that intelligent men of all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection of officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct of
city affairs. of integrity, prudence,
sagacity and enterprise, qualities which

aspirant for Office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for
cible at this time, when our city gov
ernment is liable to be called upon to
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to US all. At such time we
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests of this communi.
ty may be committed to ,hRnde that are
either feeble or. untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risk
by putting in nomination ticket, in
support of which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
OF wise snd public spirited administra-
ton of public affairs in the ensuing
year.

Various Reasons Assigned.

There have been numerous reasons
given to account for the fact hat the
north sides of churchyards are so often
devoid of graves. In the west of Eng :
land there is an idea that the north side
was not consecr ated, but was left for a
playground for the children. Then,
some again say that it is from the tradi-
ton that Jesus, when dying, turned his
head to the south. Another reason given
is that the south is the sunny side, and
the side where the church door
ly is placed, and where, consequently,
most people pass. Tho commonest rca-
son appears to be that formerly murder
ers, accommodated persons, stillborn
children, ETC., We're wont to be buried on
the north side, and some say that ghosts
always choose the north side for their
peregrinations. There is, however, an
ecclesiastical reason. The east is Gods
side, where the throne is set; the west,
mans side, the Galilee Of the Gcntiles;
the south, where the sun shines in its
strength, is the side OF tho angels and
spirits; the north, the devoted region of
Satan and his hosts, tho lair of demons
and their haunt.-Troy Times.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN
Hints to Dyspoptscs,


Much of the value obtained from NUT
ton depends upon its cooking and previ-
ors tenderness. It should he kept till
tender, and the time will depend upon
the weather.
The tenderness of meat and it's cook
ing cause the tibrcs thereof to be more
easily broken up in the stomach; it is
thus digestcd without delay. Bccfsteak
should be most tender before being SUBJ
mitted to the process of cooking. It
should always be donc-or rather under
donc-ovcr IL clear fire of coal cindcrs or
coke, which is better still.
Tho dyspcptic will do we'll to give
h"shes and stcws q wide berth, unless
they arc exceptionally we'll cooked.
Triple is an easily digcstcd and most
succulent supper dish.
Now as to pork. For q man who is
in good health, and has the opportunity
OF taking constant exercise in tho open
air, this food is good and nutritious, but
the invalid and dyspcptic must bcwar
OF 1t. Ham or bacon, with eggs in the
morning, however, is tolerably easily
digestcd. So is pigs liver with bacon;
and cold pigs check is good either as
a supper or breakfast dish to those in
ordinary health.
After pork comes veal in the scale OF
indigestibility, SO that, on the whole, my
best advice to the dyspcptic is to leave
both alone, with the exception of frizzled
thinly-cut bacon as a relish in the morn
ing.
Swcetbrcads, whether calves OF

the digestion of other foods.

He will hardly need to be told that
beef and mutton, when good and proper

therefore comfort, and to a great degree

an undue proportion of animal food rem
dcrs him more liable to inhammatory
troubles, whether acute or chronic; and
again, if subject to rheumatism or other
blood complaint, he must be cautious in
the use of such viands. - CdsseU's Maga-

PhilOsO ply OF the Falling Leaf.

Leaves are the most important part of
the plant. A portion of the food which
plants require is conveyed through the
roots, but by far the larger portion is
absorbed through the leaves. Leaves
perform for plants a like function, to
some extent, to that which the stomach
does for man and the other orders of the
animal kingdom which possess that
organ. They assimilatc the plants food,
converting inorganic matter into organic.
Leaves arc. green because it is only in
green matter that assimilation occurs.
The food is gathered by the leaves from
tho sunlight, air and moisture, or rain.
The larger the leaves the more food they
absorb if exposed TO sunlight and air,
and, in some cases, the more rapidly tho
plant grows. At the end of tho summer
the leaf becomes loaded with solid inor-
ganic matter and its functions arc i'm.
paired. Its color then becomes modified.
The green hue changes in the case of
leaves of trees into yellow, brown, scar
let or other color, depending on the
variety of tree, the condition of the at
mosphere as respects tho moisture and
the presence or absence of frost. Where
the air is dryest and frosts come
earliest after the leaf begins to
change its color, the hues are the bright
est and most varied. When tho green
color has vanished the leaf, beng then
incapable of receiving food from the
elements, dries up and dies. But not
one leaf falls unless wrenched off by
external forces without leaving behind
it in embryo the bud which is to unfold
into a leaf and perform a like service for
the plant in tho succeeding year.

Again Mrs. Arde thought of ''Poor

found rocks and burrs in the smoothest

No wonder the work goes wrong;
Worry, and fuss. and fume and fret,
With never a change in tho song.
And the husband mutters, with scowling face,
As he enters his home and takes his place,
"Ah, surely, mine is a pitiful case,
For my wife does nothing but fret"
Scold! scold! scold!
And the voice is sharp and thinl
The eye is hard and the hand is quick,
And they spare neither kith or kin;
While tho neighbors mock at the vixen's
tongue,
And the husband goes whore the drunkards
throng,
And browns his woes with q glass and song
Because his wife is a scold.
Smile! smile! smilel
For a magic power is this;
What q welcome home to q weary man
Are asmi!o and a wife!y kissl
For smiles in a cottage must sunshine make,
As over the kindly lips they break,
Who would not work for the dear, sweet sake
OF a wife with q sunny smilea
Lowell love! love-!
Whatever the trouble be,
Remember that love is u brother fond,
That is born for adversely;
Though heavy the burdens may be to bear,
OF poverty, weariest toll, and care.
The lowliest home may be bright and fair,
If it is but the home of love.

land in 1926, every one whom drank
spirits. Tho employer furnished grog
to all at II a. IN. and 4 p. m. Having
finished one building tho whole crew
went down the harbor on an excursion
and took two gallons of rum. In 1882
he helped build a meeting house in
Whitefeld. A hogshead of rum was
bought by the contractor, and the most
oft was consumed in building that
meeting house. No-those were not the

What Women Mead.

Women need to cultivate their own
resources more. There arc some who
early recognize tho difference of value
between tho p%erishable and imperishablc
things of this earth. Every valuable
possession has its added care and OK
pense. People who were once in moder-
ate circumstances, or poor, even, who
grew wealthy, look back upon the old
life as frcer from cares and happier; yet,
if they were to 80 back to their early
and simple style of living tho world
would severely c~riticise them. Every
woman needs to keep up her list of old
friends and to make new ones, too; the
family and children cannot meet all the
wants that middle aged people must
have for friendship. Not any woman is
80 busy but that she can find time to
write an occasional letter. If the friend
to whom she owes a letter would come
to see her, she could lay aside work and
talk to her, and urge her to stay longer.
One can stop on the street at the risk
Of taking pneumonia in winter, to talk
